Ignite-UX problem.

MEHMET BAYER — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 08:54:20 GMT

Hello,

I've Ignite-UX problem. I'm using HP-UX 11i with Ignite-UX-11-11 C.6.6.93. I'm trying to backup with make_net_recovery but I get "Not enough space for archive. /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt on local needs .. kbytes free." error. So , I decided to create new LV and new file system named like /var/opt/ignite/recovery. I also reinstalled Ignite_ux depot on client site.But I still get same error. I tried also yo use /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt filesystem. For once, I have another error as below

"nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt: Device busy
ERROR: Unable to mount or write". Does anyone has any idea?

thanks

Shalom,

Ignite needs space on /var and nowhere else to put temporary files for the archive. Clear space there or it will neer work.

check the /etc/exports config on the NFS mount point and make sure it permits read and write from the client, which is trying to do the make_net_recovery

try to mount it by hand:
mount igniteserver:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt /mnt

and the try to write to it. Remember to look into your /etc/exports file. Consult the ignite manual for more information.

Dear Steven,

Thanks a lot for your information. Actually, I did backup (tarred) sub directorys of /var/opt/ignite/recovery.After create new file system, I recovered directory from backup. So, I have to increase /var size. I checked /etc/exports, everthings looks fine.

Best regards.

If you make any kind of changes to the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt: such as extending it by creating a new logical volume for it, you will need to check ownership of the directory bin:bin and also re-export it, so the new permissions are taken up in the export.

exportfs -av

This will give you a verbose listing of all your exported files/directories and highlight any errors.

Hope this helps.

Dear Jash,

I checked permissions for /var/opt/ignite/recovery/, it's ok. I also checked exportfs -av from ignite server site. Everythins seem ok. At this point ,I don't understand something. I created new logical volume with correct directory permission, but I recived again an error like "Not enough space for archive."

Emre,

Where did you actually add the new logical volume into?

What is the mount point?

Sorry for delay in replying, must be a big timezone difference between us.

Dear Jash,

I created new logical volmue named lvol11 in vg00 and mounted like "/var/opt/ignite/recovery". Before do that, I took a backup of directories under recovery directory. you can see below. Then, I deleted these directories and recopied to new location with correct permission.
***
drwxrwxrwx 2 bin bin 96 Jan 23 2003 arch_mnt
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 96 Jan 23 2003 client_mnt
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 96 Apr 6 16:11 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 192 Apr 6 16:19 previews

#ll -d
drwxr-xr-x 5 bin bin 1024 Apr 6 16:19 /var/opt/ignite/recovery

JASH_2 — Fri, 07 Apr 2006 04:47:16 GMT

The place where the extra file space is equired is

/var/opt/recovery/archives/

This is where it is actually stored. Have you re-created the directory structure, under /var/opt/recovery/ for the archives directory and the directory for the server you are trying to take the image for?

If you have, make sure that it is on the same mount point by
cd /var/opt/recovery/archives/
bdf .

If it does not show you that you are in
/var/opt/recovery then you need to recreate the directory structure.

If it does show that you are in /var/opt/recovery then check that when you create the net_recovery it is pointing to the correct directory.

JASH

Dear Jash,

It was my mistake. I gave extra space on ignite server. But now, I have another error messages.

*****
nfs mount: mount_nfs: mount: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt: Device busy
ERROR: Unable to mount or write
s2yedek:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/s1webap1
On s2yedek you may need to:
mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/s1webap1
chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/s1webap1

*****
(s2yedek is my ignite server and s1webapp1 is my client server which I want to backup.)

I have already a directory named s1webapp1 in
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/" on ignite server and I modified correctly "/etc/exports".

Is this a nfs problem?

JASH_2 — Fri, 07 Apr 2006 05:22:54 GMT

This is a problem I have encountered many times. everything looks ok, but it will not mount the file system for ignite. does your exportfs line for your server look like this:-

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/s1webap1 -anon=2,access=s1webap1 ?

Canot remember exactly! If it does, remove the access=s1webap1 from the end of the line, so it looks like this:-
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/s1webap1 -anon=2

Then run exportfs -av.

It should report that it re-exporting the above.

Once this is done, it should not give you the same problems.

Here's hoping

Emre,

Just thought of something else! Have you exported the whole of /var/opt/ignite/recovery ?

If so, that would explain why you are getting the busy message. Make sure that you take that out of your exports file, and export .../archives/sw1webaps
and .../recovery/arch_mnt separately. Then re-run exportfs -av.

We will crack this!

Jash,

it was like "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/s2webap1 -anon=2,access=s2webap1". It started to backup after remove "access=s2webap1" part. I don't have any explanation for that. What was the magic?

Thanks a lot!!

Re: Ignite-UX problem.

JASH_2 — Fri, 07 Apr 2006 06:26:27 GMT

Not magic! You have more than 1 NIC on the back of your webaps server, the ignite server got confused as to which one it was to use, each having it's own mach address it looked different to the ignite server, so it said it had no permission.

Glad it is working!

PS, Any chance you could assign points?
